Reaction Steps

Stir dl-3-methoxy-17β-hydroxy-6-methyl-13-ethylgona-2,5(10)-diene (1.0 g) in methanol (54 cc) containing concentrated hydrochloric acid (3.6 cc) and water (2.4 cc) under nitrogen for 1.5 hours. Pour into brine, extract with ether and isolate the crude product. Chromatograph on Grade I neutral alumina (50 g) and recrystallize from ether-hexane to obtain the title compound (0.30 g), m.p. 127°-130°, λ max. KBr 2.98 μ, 6.03 μ; λmax. EtOH 240 mμ (ε16,500).
